Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research is to emphasize important aspects of the development and interconnectivity of national cultures in Bucovina, in the field of music in the XIX century. This period became known as a center of national and cultural development in the field of dance, music, national traditions, songs, customs, national costumes, fairs or other arts. In the field of music there was a great interest of musiciens, composers and researchers such as Vorobchevici S., Miculici A., Norst A., Leviţkii M. in the research of folk music and traditional music culture of Ukranians, Romanians, Germans or Polish from Bucovina. The cultural context in Cernăuţi and Bucovina developed owing to the existence of more music organizations, which in the second half of the XIX-the century covered more socio-cultural and educational activity fields. It should be mentioned the importance of the Music National Society in the orgatization of charitable and educational concerts, meant to promote clasical and national music; the organization of literary and musical events, art courses for the youth or the functioning of the youth amateurs theatre. The cultural life in the XIX century was rich in art events: cultural and musical public events, cultural weeks dedicated to different composers such as Şubert, Moţart, Bethoven and much more.
